You can use ResearchGate to:

• Find collaborators,
• Access job boards, and
• Ask and answer questions across disciplines and borders, in real-time.

Full-text publications you upload to your ResearchGate profile are indexed by Google Scholar.

• Video: Why Use ResearchGate Goes over 7 key features that make ResearchGate a very useful tool for students and professors.

Before you create a ResearchGate profile or upload any publications you should consider the risks and issues involved, such as security, confidentiality and copyright:

ResearchGate is a commercial platform.

Researchers should be aware of their publishers’ policies on sharing their publications, ie. which version/s can be used and on which platforms they can be uploaded.

Publishers are increasingly vigilant about infringement of their copyright on these platforms.  See, for example, the website of the publisher’s Coalition for Responsible Sharing:

Coalition for Responsible Sharing: Status Report on ResearchGate

ARC and NHMRC advise against the use of platforms such as ResearchGate in the specific context of researchers meeting their OA policy compliance requirements, as they  lack the necessary commitment the funders seek to long-term preservation, data reuse, publisher copyright requirements and end-user privacy afforded by institutional repositories. 

• ARC Open Access Policy

The University of Melbourne has an institutional repository – Minerva-Access – which takes care to observe publisher sharing policies and which, in terms of discovery via Google and Google Scholar, compares favourably with RG and Academia.edu

ResearchGate: Introduction & Caveat

ResearchGate.net is the most popular academic profile site on the web, and a very popular hub on the web for sharing academic publications. Hence this page's guidance about ResearchGate and ORCID.

It should be remembered that ResearchGate (like Academia.edu) is a private company attempting to monetize your academic publishing, and it does not vet whether it has a license to host a publication. For this reason, ResearchGate gets lots of take-down notices from publishers and thus may not be a reliable way of sharing your publications. For this reason, it is preferable to archive your academic publications in a non-profit institutional or disciplinary repository, to make sure that the publisher/journal allows for archiving , and/or that you have the proper copyright or license to do so.

The benefits of adding your ORCID iD to your ResearchGate profile are mostly one-sided. If ResearchGate knows your ORCID iD, its algorithms can more easily discover your publications and research activities so as to remind you to upload them to its platform. However, unlike Google Scholar, Scopus, or ResearcherID, ResearchGate does not have any streamlined workflow to export your publication metadata back into your ORCID profile.

How to Integrate Your ORCID iD into ResearchGate

Step 1. Click on your Profile Image Step 2. Click on the Info menu Step 3. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and enter your unique ORCID iD

Web of Science ResearcherID

A Web of Science ResearcherID is a unique identifier that connects you to your publications across the Web of Science ecosystem (e.g., Web of Science , Publons , and InCites ) and provides the global research community with an invaluable index to author information. Web of Science Group products ( Web of Science , Publons , InCites , EndNote ) use a Web of Science ResearcherID to match and disambiguate researchers across products.

Having a Web of Science ResearcherID helps:

• solve author identity issues
• ensure correct attribution between you and your publications on the Web of Science
• add dynamic citation metrics from the Web of Science Core Collection and other missing metadata to publication records on your Publons profile, Web of Science , InCites, etc.
• effortlessly keep your ORCID up to date by linking it to your Web of Science ResearcherID on Publons

We fully integrated ResearcherID across Web of Science collections, Publons profiles, and InCites . It can also link to your ORCID to ensure you’re properly credited for your work across the web.

Author Identifiers Table

Expand the Authors Identifiers table to view a list of researchers who have claimed a publication using their Web of Science ResearcherID or ORCID identifiers.

The table includes:

• If available, the Web of Science ResearcherID of all authors who have claimed the publication. The hyperlink takes you to the author's Web of Science ResearcherID, hosted on publons.com where you can view all the records in the author's publication list.
• If available, the ORCID of all authors currently associated with the publication.
